Welcome to the 14th edition of the International Scientific Conference "The Contemporary Issues of the Socio-Humanistic Sciences,", which takes place annually at the Free International University of Moldova. The conference provides participants with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of recent investigations in various fields of science, including psychology, sociology, social work, pedagogy, political science, etc. Being organized in partnership with colleagues from other universities from the Republic of Moldova, as well as from Romania, Ukraine, and India, the conference contributes to the consolidation and building of new collaborative partnerships, offering opportunities to present the visions of experienced researchers and young people from the academic and practical environment, university staff, students, and specialists in the practical field from 10 countries, in plenary sessions and sections’ sessions, in workshops and in the discussions during the breaks, and later in the volume with the full texts of the communications. The organizers of the conference want the conference to become a platform that will contribute to the development of socio-humanistic fields, vital for understanding human nature and activity. The role of socio-humanistic sciences is particularly important today as we navigate the challenges of globalization, advanced technologies, the erasure of intercultural barriers, but also the increase of social inequality, the confrontation of environmental problems, and misunderstandings brought to the point of military conflicts and war. The socio-humanistic sciences contribute to the understanding of the complexity of human behavior and the relationships between people and societies, thus playing a crucial role in shaping and influencing political decisions, social reforms and interactions. They provide the framework for understanding the complex dynamics of the processes that underlie socioeconomic structures, political systems, and cultural practices. Development has been and is an essential goal of the socio-humanistic sciences, particularly by addressing how societies develop over time economically, politically and socially. Achieving sustainable development is an aspiration of humanity, and because psychology presents the research of human behavior, the application of the principles and laws discovered by psychologists contributes to the transformation of this dream into reality. Research from different perspectives of the human condition in psychology, approaching people in a complex bio-psychosocial way that recognizes the importance of biological predispositions, individual psychological variables and social factors as influences on human thinking, feelings and behavior, contributes to the identification of individual factors and social aspects of sustainable development. Sociology and sustainable development intersect in several fields of research that address issues of the environment (environmental sociology), quality of life (the social pillar of sustainable development), poverty alleviation (the main goal of the UN sustainable development agenda), and others. Social work researchers' commitment to sustainable development also includes a series of issues related to environmental and social crises. The goals of the UN Resolution ("Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development") have become an agenda for social assistance and researchers in this field. Education for sustainable development is part of the orientation of research in the field of educational sciences, which promotes the democratic and equal participation of all people in solving social problems, ensured through personal development within the framework of experiential learning and the integration of theory and practice within the educational curriculum. Through research, education is harnessed for a shared vision of the future of the world and the enhancement of participatory practices that enable the planet and people to thrive. During the XIV edition of the International Scientific Conference "The Contemporary Issues of the Socio-Humanistic Sciences," we promote scientific research under the motto "The best way to predict the future is to create it", a remarkable quote that belongs to Peter Drucker, writer, management consultant and university professor. Science plays an important role in sustainable development and provides answers to many of the questions facing countries around the world today. Building a sustainable world requires transcending geopolitical boundaries in addressing and solving people's problems. In research, there is a need to overcome disciplinary boundaries and develop integrated scientific approaches aimed at supporting sustainable development. Thus, without boundaries, limited only by ethical and moral criteria and methodological rigors, research becomes a way of building the future.
